Q3BSP is a tool to convert Quake3 map files (bsp extension) to VRML 97.
The original version of Q3BSP, by John W. Ratcliff can export lightmapped scenes
to VRML 1.0 as 2 separate files.
This original q3bsp version is here http://www.flipcode.com/cgi-bin/msg.cgi?showThread=COTD-Q3BSP&forum=cotd&id=-1
The extended version supports VRML97.
Some added features are :
q3bsp.zip - source code, need MSVC 6 to compile (1 Meg)
q3bsp_exe.zip - binary (100 k)
readme.txt - readme file

Demo

Contact 5.0 - DX7 Driver viaVRML with MultiTexture extensions:
Get Q3 or any Q3 maps (bsp,shader & textures) or Q3 Team Arena Demo.
Rename the .pk3 file to .zip
Extract the files (at minimum files with bsp tga jpg shader extensions)
Copy q3bsp.exe to that directory & run q3bsp from the command line in the top-level directory e.g.
VRML 97 output
q3bsp -2 maps\q3dm1
VRML 97 with Contact multitexturing output (q3effects.wrl need be in the directory as well):
q3bsp -2m maps\q3dm1
Experimenting with Multi-texturing
Using quake map builduing tools for creating VRML
publishing maps for preview on the web
Using quake map lighting tools for creating light maps
The conversion right now is of course rudimentary,
no support for visibility managment (PVS, BSP etc), more shader features, delayed
or multipath rendering with proper blendmodes.
